Nike ACG GORE-TEX "Mountain Fly" | Review & Styling

[@corbincore]

update: I did return these just because for the price ($220) and the fact that I was going to be hiking in these, the heel slip was just too annoying. I'm kinda bummed about it because I really like the shoes, especially the sole/lugs, appearance, and concept. Stay tuned for more sneaker/boot reviews in the future!

[@jonnypeterson805]

Right 220 and ur talking about StockX going for 240+ + 40$ in charges , way too much, I just bought on the third re-stock on Nike barely got a 11.5 cuz my 12 was sold out , if they don’t fit at least i can take em back and I’ll actually know my size for next time

[@spceboi]

I'm torn between getting one of these ACGs.. How bad is the heal slipping and could be better if you had gotten half a size down?

[@wonkydonkey7899]

I don’t have the issue of heel slippage. I went up half a size because of the snugness around the uppers and cramped space at the toes. Going up 0.5 makes all the difference. That said, everybody’s feet are unique and different, so it’s best you try them on if you have the chance.

[@DamianLewd]

Totally worth it! I slept on the antarktiks.

[@wuhank]

do they fit true to size ?

[@jasonk8654]

Really like your shoe review because you always show us how the shoe looks with the entire outfit, not just "on feet" like many other youtuber does

[@corbincore]

Thank you man! I always try to include at least one full outfit with whatever i'm showing! Helps to see it included in an outfit

[@excelsiusprime]

Agree, they look great and much better with wide pants.

[@jiaruikang7106]

@@corbincore I also really really like the black pants you wear in this video. Can you quickly provide what brand and style it is?

[@johndanielsforJesus]

​@jiaruikang7106 - I think he said they were "5.11's", which is the brand 5.11 Tactical. As a long-standing private security professional, I have much of their gear, which includes a great many pants, from TDUs/BDUs (the baggy, tactical pants that groups like SWAT use), to my couple of pair of "Icon" pants 👖, which are the skinnier fitting pants, although they're still tactical, at least durability-wise. Those pants Corbin is wearing, look similar to my "Icon" pants. 5.11 makes OTHER, skinny pants, though, if the Icon isn't to your liking.

[@tonyyates2012]

Nike should make the designers wear their creations for a month so they can reassess what they've designed.

[@corbincore]

seriously, just wear them for a couple days at least haha. and with a larger sample group

[@vladimir.rrrrrr]

I just got these in the black colorway, and I have to tell you, these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn ! even though I do have a wide range of the boost shoes, including the Adidas Free Hiker Cold Rdy (EU 45) I ordered them half a size bigger, making them 44,5, as normaly ACG TTS for me is 44. I have a normal width on my feet, and they literally fit like a glove. Enough space for my toes and absolutely NO heel slipping. I tried them out in a 2 hour walk, and my feet have never been better.. The shoes fit so good that it feels like they were already broken in somehow when i got them. Absolutely amazing comfort, stability, aesthetics, etc. Would absolutely recommend them. Worth every penny. Hope this feedback comes in handy for anybody looking into buying these.

[@kriscuthbertson5787]

From wearing Nike’s latest performance runners, I can say that the heel slippage is a thing across the board. I’ve heard from a pro runner that the shape of the heel aids in performance but I do wish the slippage was a little less prevalent for casual wear

[@corbincore]

Very interesting! I’m going to google more about that. I just hope it doesn’t cause any blisters

[@DamianLewd]

I copped in Blk And my partner got the tans for me. They’re perfect! Perfect fit, true to size (Nike isn’t very consistent) no heel slip for me (the toggle really locks you down) Great ride & return. I’ve already been on a few hikes and a snow storm. Now only if I can get my hands on the black /grey sole!

[@injectionAI]

can't believe you returned these. easily my most aggressive comfortable hiking shoe

[@cadenloebs6571]

i just found your channel about a week ago and lemme just say, your content is fire man you def deserve hella subs bro. not to mention your fits always go hard. good shit mate.

[@corbincore]

I really appreciate that man! it means a lot!

[@johndanielsforJesus]

Great video! I just bought these, and should hopefully be trying them on/wearing them in the next couple of days. Been looking at them, for nearly a year now, lol. I'll keep you posted.

[@Walevolence]

I thought the Nike Antarktik looks more aesthetically pleasing. The Mountain Fly look like a beefed-up version of Jordan Proto-Z Black Anthracite imo. It's impressive they manage to jam a carbon fibre plate inside, though I'm curious how it will last on daily streetwear, rough terrains and work purposes for a year. Thanks for doing this detailed video, have been waiting for someone to do this!

[@corbincore]

I like the antarktik more overall, both fit and aesthetic wise as well!. I googled the jordans and it does resemble that shoe! I would imagine the soles would hold up as my antarktiks have. they have a similar rubber compound.

[@Walevolence]

@@corbincore I am and have been using the Jordan Proto-Z Black for a year now. I like the simplistic zipper and the same react foam is very comfortable for long road walks. I believed it's on discount now and some worth looking into, especially for budget viewers in mind.

[@plansahead4233]

Great review, all of the practical items AND the styling elements in one review. Ur a BEAST !!!

[@KevinMButler]

Yes! I was hoping you would do a video on these!

[@corbincore]

I hope it was informative! thank you!

[@welkincheng]

If we put one finger in and pull back the front lace to tighten the upper surface it could help a little bit to prevent slippage.

[@loucretiacat627]

One of the best pair of shoes I ever had!!!!

[@easy8325]

I was about to pick these up but the price and review helped me decide not to.

[@wonkydonkey7899]

I’ve heard that mountain fly runs snug, and many people suggest to go up a half size. I bought them TTS, I don’t have wide feet, and I hope these don’t turn out too snug for me. I also heard that they run a bit short length wise, so I’m really on the fence whether I made the right choice going TTS. What size do you wear if you don’t mind me asking? They seem to run long and bulky on you.

[@corbincore]

I dont have wide feet either and I would say mine are comfortably snug (my feet feel secure in them). I went with a size 12 which is my normal size. If I were just comparing the length from toe to heel, id say they are a tad shorter than other size 12 nike.

[@wonkydonkey7899]

@@corbincore Thanks for your reply. If they were the same length and width as the vaporfly 4%, then the size would be a perfect fit for me. I own the vaporfly 4%. I read the tech spec saying the mountain fly is build upon the frame of it. Keep my fingers crossed. Hopefully the sizing turns out promising for me once I receive them.

[@Danovan-oj2wy]

@@wonkydonkey7899 how do they fit?

[@wonkydonkey7899]

@@Danovan-oj2wy they fit snug (sock-like construction) to me so I went half a size up. Depending on your feet, if yours are normal and narrow, go TTS; if you got wide feet, go half size up.

[@TheBrad605]

I just bought a second pair. Love these shoes. Perfect for the Detroit climate.

[@NickSwaindog]

These look unreal with a wider legged pant. I got some acg 3 layer ski pants and they look amazing with the flared leg.

[@krytolandros1775]

Nice video! I had been wondering about these and you did a great job of providing a comprehensive review.

[@corbincore]

thank you!! I'm really glad you found it useful

[@brandonhann593]

I just got the black/tan ones in today. Could you throw me some styling tips with those?! Thank you! awesome video!

[@corbincore]

Thank you man! the tans look great! I would say other earth tones and slightly baggier pants!

[@janicewan6880]

Same here, my heels slip with every step, but if I go half size smaller, it would be too small

[@corbincore]

the heel pads really help. just make sure you give the pads time to properly adhere to the cloth.

[@romansieg5742]

Hi Corbin, this is a damn good review of the ACG Mountain fly. Thank you for this! Always watching your vids and I noticed in this vid that they are getting more and more professional. Also own the Antarkiks and I'm super happy with them. Favorite shoe in every way. Only one con: Not for every outfit. Mountain flys and Antarktiks looking like from the same family. The fly is the younger, inexperienced and chunkier brother of the Antarkiks. Lol. I miss a short Aquaguard zipper above the lacing system on the flys. Anyway, super review. Thanks, bluekros

[@corbincore]

I really appreciate it, man!! I try an always up my video quality. I agree, the antartiks are not for every fit, they are pretty loud with a lot going on. Both the mountain fly and antartiks are cut from the same cloth for sure which is why I really wanted to pick them up

[@dsmith3351]

Just subbed. Cool video . Like your style!

[@corbincore]

thank you man!! I really appreciate it

[@lemuelsumagang6100]

Does it comes in different colorways, or just that dark color? I think its best tk partner it with taffeta pants materials just like yours. I like those pants you were wearing, what are those? Thanks.

[@josephzammit6155]

[@corbincore]

They've been growing on me, especially with wider pants.

[@leroykolditz2225]

i knew you would pick them up . nice vid as always 👌

[@corbincore]

being similar to the antartiks, i wanted to check them out! and thank you man!

[@excelsiusprime]

Thanks for the review, didn't really expect to see it on this channel. I'm waiting for my pair to come(black and white).

[@corbincore]

I hope it was informative! I like the black and white colorway, you can see more details of the shoe with those

[@taylortalks.188]

Great video man, these shoes are dope and I love how you styled them

[@Cactuspo12]

I just bought the tan pair, great pair of shoes for running and hiking, but I am definitely feeling the same problem where the heel slips,

[@corbincore]

I was super hyped for these and I really love the concept. But that heel slip was just too much for me and I returned them sadly.

[@Born.N.Raised818]

What do you guys mean by heel slip? When running or hiking you guys have slipped in them ?

[@MattthewCunha]

Lol wearing these with slim pants gives a real Herman Munster vibe. Glad these go one easier than last year's model.

[@PatrikHighlights]

I just got those the other day and had a small heel slipping problem on my left shoe but I think its because when I tuck in the strig I accidentally push the release button making them more loose.. Cool video overall!!

[@30m3]

You can get little heel cushion sticky things to put in your shoes. Might help.

[@corbincore]

I got one to stick properly and the other fell off:/ gonna put another one in and hopefully it sets correctly.

[@30m3]

@@corbincore Finally got my pair in. I'm a US12 like yourself and they are snug, my right big toe isn't too comfortable but with wear it might ease up. As for the heal slip, I do feel it a little, I'm sure there is room for those pads though so hopefully that eases up too.

[@mikehawk2148]

Have you tried these on ice? Wondering if you'll slip or something, I'm looking into snagging a pair for the winter

[@Tiger24kicks]

You got both acg shoes that I currently want here in New York City and Maryland they are no were to be found. I want able to pick up every acg jacket I wanted this season.

[@jakeb6703]

Yea I thought the carbon plate was a weird choice, it's from theyr vapor fly types not sure how much sense it makes in these

[@corbincore]

I feel like this shoe should have been a committed trail running type shoe. The shank makes it almost feel like a boot but without the support in the the ankles

[@adrianfigueroa8823]

Had the heel slip issue too, I really wanted to like these. Had to return em. Did you have the heel slip issue with the Antarktiks?

[@corbincore]

I’m in the same exact boat as you man. Returned them yesterday. And no the antarktiks fit super well

[@adrianfigueroa8823]

@@corbincore I picked up a pair of Hoka Kahas instead. Not a like for like replacement but we’ll see if it fills the void lol

[@jpod]

Nice video. I have also noticed some heel slippage. I went TTS. I need more time on feet for sure but probably wouldn’t run in these, too heavy.

[@corbincore]

I'm in the same boat as you. they feel nice and snug to me except for that heel slippage. really holds me back from hiking in them either so I suppose these are city/rain/snow shoes for me

[@lemuelsumagang6100]

Have you tried to compare the ACGs to other outdoor shoes such as northface, columbia, merrell,salomon or adidas if have any? As far as I had experienced having ACGs, they're really comfortable but I haven't tried comparing and wearing other outdoor shoes, except columbia. Please give me some ideas..thanks.

[@フレデリック-d5u]

[@leprechaon94]

Hi Man! - great video, I was wondering whether the shoes had ankle support (inside the structure of the shoe). thanks :)

[@pmx1000_]

[@shaunakkulkarni495]

Its really difficult to put it on...i just bought mine 9 US bt I feel I need to return and get the 9.5 size

[@illestnwk]

Just got mines today from the restock of the triple black or else I would’ve got the khaki colored ones. I went with a 8 instead of a 7.5 and I’m glad I did. It would’ve been super tight. Definitely bought these for the fall & winter since it rains a lot during these seasons in Seattle. I didn’t like the price of $220, at least I won’t have wet socks or mess up my other nice shoes when I’m out & about . 😂

[@Ayshafr]

Appreciate the comparison to the Antarktiks. I definitely don't need more shoes especially since I haven't really been going outdoors much this year but when I saw these I was a little 👀

[@corbincore]

Honestly the best pickups of the year have been sweatpants and my birkenstocks just because I've been able to stay home ever since march! So I completely can relate haha

[@Lekks25]

Would these work for winter/light snow? also, if you know, how do they compare to Adidas Terrex free hiker in size? Thanks

[@hiphanreview]

I wanted to buy those!! but it just got sold out too quickly in my country so I missed a chance.. glad to see it here ! nice videos, nice review!

[@Kjohny44]

do they feel cold when in wet/cold/windy weather?

[@watchthesix]

Great video! Could you follow up once you've done a hike in them? I just got my pair and at least for streetwear in the rain, they are excellent

[@corbincore]

I'll mention it in another video once I have! I'll primarily be using them in urban areas the most!

[@kida1403]

Can you do another budget techwear shoe? I loved your video from 2 years ago but they don’t sell that shoe anymore lol

[@corbincore]

I'll look into doing another one! I will say my salomon speedcross 5s are more affordable at around $130 and it has some very nice features and build quality

[@dankmemer2774]

How high does the gore tex membrane go? For my af1 gtx wntr midtop shoes, I thought the gtx membrane goes up as far as the collar, but I was wrong. Water started seeping in right below my ankle.

[@corbincore]

I believe the gore-tex membrane goes up to the "V-notch" where the laces are. That is disappointing that the gore-tex doesn't go to the top of the GTX :( I googled the shoes and I'm not sure why they wouldn't.

[@dankmemer2774]

@@corbincore yes, I do notice a lot of sneaker boots have this issue where the goretex does not extend all the way. My adidas free hiker gtx and cold.rdy are mid and high tops respectively both with gore tex membranes. However, the height of the gore tex membrane on both extends only as far as your acg mountain fly. This is quite disappointing indeed.

[@DarknessUnresolved]

Pretty weird that when these first went on sale, they were only available to "members only". And the very next day when sales opened to the public, half the black versions were already gone! Then suddenly, dozens of resales pop up on eBay, StockX, etc. - usually marked way up. Hopefully, they'll restock the all blacks.

[@corbincore]

I'm betting that they will restock the blacks. Its a odd release. when one color sells out, they just completely take it off the site and then rando,my put it back on the site lol

[@jonaslee6880]

I have the heels slip issue too, I usually wear EU 42 for Nike shoes, I tried EU 42.5 and 43, but it still has this issue, if I choose the normal size, it will be too small for me.
